This is a crying shame! Almost shatters my dreams of opening my own hobby shop.

Picked this little gem up today at the Circle City Show/Swap Meet in Indy.

Original AMT '62 Impala (screw bottom chassis). This kit had been started, but not painted, and not a glue-bomb. Should be an easy restoration.

This kit was on my list of "Holy Grails". I was really happy to finally find one.

Had a great time at this event. Congrats to the Circle City folks for another great one.

(Hey Tom Geiger, you missed out on several early Valiants!)

Where do you find out about these events Mike? I'm in Louisville and would love to go to one of those shows.

[ToyLvr]

Jon:

My local model car club keeps a calendar of events, with emphasis on those which are within reasonable driving distance. We exchange newsletters and other info with various clubs around our region, so we generally have a handle on what's going on.

You'll often find such info posted in the "Contests & Shows" section here on the MCM forum, as well as publicized in the magazine itself.

Health issues have kept me from attending such events over the last few months, but I made a special effort to get to Indy - always one of my favorites. :-)

Found 6 65 Chevelle Super Wagons on clearance at Hobby Lobby today for $10. Love this kit.

That's a great looking Volks ! ! Is it a 14? I wish Aoshima would make a kit of this car, it's really a great looking car to build as a kit..

(Hey Tom Geiger, you missed out on several early Valiants!)

I went to a swap meet in NJ today and was amazed at how many first gen Valiants (60-62) there were for sale, and at reasonable prices. I already have much more than my fair share of these, unless it's a very interesting and unusual old custom build!

[KingSix]

That's cool stuff.. love to see a '68 like my dad drove someday ...

[ZTony8]

Yesterday I picked up a set of Fujimi figures and a VW GTI and an early version Tamiya Lotus 99T.

[dwayne4385]

I just got back from a local hobby shop. Its been in buisness for 44 years and there closing saturday. Everything was 50percent off. The owner told me to come back saturday for huge discounts because he isn't taking anything with him. Anyways I picked all this up for $20. Didn't really want the camaro just the motor
